Small is the New Big: Nintendo Game Boy Micro

Pros Small: 4"x2"x1", light, extremely bright display, trendy, standard...
Cons Feels fragile, unprotected display, no Game Boy/GBC compatibility
Recommended it? Yes

Nintendo has practically owned the handheld gaming market ever since the release of the original big grey brick of a Game Boy. Back then, nobody cared that they were playing games in only pea-soup green or that the thing drained batteries like nobody's business; they could take those games... Read full review »

Big gaming in a small package

byeternityawaits Mar 28, 2006
46 Helpfuls 47 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, portable, customizeable, bright screen.
Cons Screen size is small, price may be a factor for some.
Recommended it? Yes

I don't think of Nintendo's Game Boy Micro as a new system, so much as I think of it as an extension of their already popular Game Boy Advance line. The system is essentially a Game Boy Advance in a smaller shell. I don't think of it as a "novelty" item either, as I do see more and more people of... Read full review »

Black magic console...or silver.

bydavidcanoa92 Jan 28, 2012
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to set up, ability to play ps1 titles, bargain priced games.
Cons Noisy, chunky, limited space to 252MB combined, old pixeled graphics.
Recommended it? Yes

Ok, I believe to be able to review this platform we need to first identify wether you are upgrading from a ps1 or downgrading from a ps2.
i shall do both:
If you are upgrading from a ps1, then the ps2 will be a breath of fresh air, by far more titles out, better graphics, capablity to have... Read full review »

Good value if you can find it!

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Unique white PS2 looks great, good value if you want Singstar Pop
Cons No white peripherals available, difficult to find in stores
Recommended it? Yes

Sony's Playstation 2 has been out for a long, long time, almost 9 years. Sony recently cut the price of the console to $100, and the price of this bundle has dropped accordingly.

There's lots of reviews of the PS2 and the Singstar game, so here I'll just discuss what is unique to this... Read full review »
